Emsa GmbH is an innovative medium-sized (

manufacturer of consumer goods, kitchen utensils, garden equipment and garden accessories who has achieved to establish an internationally recognized trademark

for a variety of niches.

History

Emsa was founded on 1 April 1949 [1] by Franz Wulf as „Franz Wulf & Co Plasticwarenfabrik" in Greven.

A little

drip-catcher made of plastic and formed like a butterfly

was the company's first product. After drip-catchers of different forms the company started producing pastry-cutting wheels, icing bags and comparable kitchen accessories.

On 1 October 1956 the company moved from Greven to larger premises in Emsdetten and added floristry utensils to its range of products.

Emsa was acquired by the French corporation Group SEB in June 2016 for an undisclosed sum. Groupe SEB operates a portfolio of brands including Tefal, SEB, Rowenta, Moulinex, Krups, Lagostina, All-Clad, WMF and Supor marketed through multi-format retailing.

The Emsa City Cup is often seen in the television series The Expanse.
